Maryland Bird Campus

A Bird Campus is a 2-year or 4-year college or university committed to reducing threats to birds and becoming more healthy for students, faculty, and employees as well as for birds.

The application should include a signature from the administrative level -- President, Provost, or a similar level -- to ensure administrative awareness and acceptance of the Bird Campus designation and its promotion in online and print media including campus clubs, brochures and literature, and events.

The Bird Campus application categories are:

  1. Create, protect, and restore bird habitat

  2. Address threats to birds

  3. Engage people in birding and conservation

  4. Encourage sustainable practices

We are excited to report important advancements for Bird City Maryland. We have joined forces with a whole network of other bird city / bird town / bird friendly programs throughout the Americas (US, Mexico, Central and South America) to become part of the Bird City Network (BCN). The BCN is led by the American Bird Conservancy and Environment for the Americas and will work to coordinate and empower previously independent state-centric programs as one collaborative network.
